JAI CM - C-series 1-CCD monochrome cameras

In this tutorial STEMMER IMAGING expert Dr. Jon Vickers explains how to
connect a GigE Vision camera using the Common Vision Blox (CVB) CameraSuite
and how to overcome potential difficulties during the process.

How many machine vision cameras are there in the Bloodhound SSC car and why
are they so important? Find the answers in this video.

The project Bloodhound tries to establish a new world land speed record.
STEMMER IMAGING sponsors this project not only with machine vision cameras but
also with its worldclass expertise and engineering knowledge.

The JAI CM family is a range of compact digital progressive scan monochrome
cameras that form part of the new JAI C-series. The models in the CM series
use either GigE Vision or Mini-CameraLink serial communications to transfer
data. They feature the same design and dimensions as the well established JAI
A1 and A2 analogue cameras, making it easy to substitute the previous analogue
camera with an equivalent digital version in an existing system.

The CM range is available with three different sensor sizes: 1/2", 1/3" or
1/1.8" with resolutions ranging from 659 x 494 pixels (VGA) up to 1624 x 1236
pixels (UXGA) delivering frame rates from 25fps to 90fps at full resolution.
Frame rates can be increased using vertical binning, which is only possible
with the monochrome version, and with partial scan.

Two models, the JAI CM-140 and CM-200 are available with the Mini CameraLink
interface. This interface supports PoCL (power over CameraLink) so there is no
need for a separate power supply.

In addition to the monochrome models, colour versions using Bayer mosaic
filters are available as the JAI CB range.

The JAI CM cameras are ideally suited to outdoor applications due to their
integrated auto-iris function which allows a wider range of lighting
conditions to be tolerated.
